Chapter Text
After grabbing souvenirs as per Yuiri’s advice and choosing a birthday gift for Mion, Nana is excited for the main purpose of today’s trip, to get herself a ring.
[I think a simple one would be good Yuuchan, it does pair with the one that you have too.] Naachan said as she looks at the designs that were available over the counter.
[Hmm… The one that you gave me has engraved initials inside, would be nice to get that done too.] Yuiri whispered softly as she looks out for other designs displayed on the cabinets.
[This shop could do the engraving here, and I remember it was not a long wait too.] Nana recalled.
[Alright, I’ll do the pick, and you’ll wait at the corner here.] Yuiri said as she pushes Naachan to the corner of the shop and gently guides her to take a seat.
[I’ll do the payment while you can choose… ] Nana made an attempt to offer but stopped her sentence mid-way as she sees Yuiri’s brows knitting together and doesn't look pleased. [What I meant was that I’ll sit here and wait for your return, my dearest wife.] Nana changed her tone immediately and sat upright on the chair with her palms on her knees, like a child waiting to be praised after completing and listening to instructions.
Yuiri feels blood rushing up to her face as Nana ended her sentence by calling her ‘dearest wife’. She gently slapped on her fiancée’s shoulder as she turned away to find a salesperson. But from her bright red ears, Nana knows that she is safe and couldn't help but to realize again how cute Yuiri was. Yes, Yuiri is always cute, not just today.
The ring shopping was not very interesting in general, but when Yuiri completed her shopping, swing the jewelry box in front of Nana with a wide grin, she felt that her world spinning. No words can describe her happiness at that moment.
[Naachan, sorry for the wait, let’s go?] Yuiri asked softly as she notices Nana stunned in her spot.
[Eh? But the ring…] Nana snapped back to reality and noticed that her fiancée has no intention to put on the ring for her. Yuiri grabbed Nana by her wrist and walked out of the shop, the mumbling was soft, but Nana did not miss a single bit, [Let’s go home first…] Home, a term that now meant more than Nana’s Tokyo apartment.
But since a reservation was made, Yuiri is the type to not waste and frugal is the way she lived and her upbringing. While waiting for dinner to be served, they’ve went on their phone to check their SNS.
[Yuuchan, the fans are commenting lots, they said that Ogino-san posted on her instastory about meeting us. And they’re wondering if it's a secret date.] Nana said as she continued scrolling her screen.
Yuiri turned away from her phone, staring at Nana’s fingers as she gently tapped on the screen. [I guess you can send a mail about it, it’ll be better too to confirm about meeting Ogino-san by coincidence. ] Nana nodded and proceed to draft her mail. The food arrived and they ate in silence (Credits: Naachan’s mail on 24/1/2019).
As promised earlier, Yuiri went to Nana’s after their dinner. Right after coming out of the lift, Nana’s hands were filled with presents that they bought, seeing this, Yuiri went one step ahead of her and straight to the door. She tapped gently on the digital lock and keyed in the number, the number that she had seen Nana keying it in numerous time when opened the door when they’re back home after work. Nana felt warmhearted as she sees Yuiri open the door to their home. [Thank you Yuuchan.] [Hmm? You’ve shown me the passcode before, of course, I would know.] Yuiri said as she walked straight into the kitchen, leaving Nana behind at the doorstep. But Nana could see that Yuiri’s ears are a little more pink than usual and her attempt in acting nonchalant is just too cute to pass by.
[Yuuchan, I’ll go and bathe first!] Nana said as she hopped into the bathroom.
When she came out, she wished that she had her camera with her. Yuiri is sitting at the corner of her bed, folding her clothes for her and arranging them into her luggage. It was a perfect sight. Yuiri noticed Nana standing at the door of the bedroom as she reached out for Nana’s makeup pouch on the table. [Naachan, check the items that I packed in for you alright? I’ll go and bathe first.] After grabbing her pajamas and walking out of the room, she noticed that Nana seemed a little out of it. [Naachan?]
Yuiri was brought into a tight embrace as she walked back into the bedroom. [… Naachan? Are you alright? What’s wrong?] Yuiri asked as one of her hands reached up to the back of Nana’s head and gently combing through her locks of hair that's now dyed black.
Nana wrapped her arms around Yuiri’s waist, hiding her face into the crook of Yuiri’s neck, [Nothing… I just suddenly feel everything is so unreal, that you’re here, with me. And me, of all others that are so much more talented and better than me. I… don't feel that I deserve you. You’re so gentle, understanding, charismatic…]
Yuiri waited as Nana slowly talked to her, she can hear her voice resonating into her neck and her breath at her ears as Nana gently exhaled as she spoke. When Nana’s voice died down to silence, Yuiri tossed her change of clothes onto the bed, reaching both her palms onto Nana’s cheek, she knew that this is the only way to get Nana’s undivided attention and calm her down. Yuiri looked straight into Nana’s eyes, [Naachan. This, is real. You think that I am gentle and all, but you also know that I get jealous sometimes, then I get all petty and…]
[No, Yuuchan, it is my fault, I should not…] Nana got worked up and jumped on the spot, trying to reassure her fiancée that it is not her fault to feel jealous. But she was cut off by a quick peck on the lips.
[Since you said it is your fault, then take the responsibility again when I get jealous then?] Yuiri said as she gave her trademark dolphin smile. [If you are able to spot that I got jealous that is. ]
[I do realize it!] Nana defended herself.
[Not after the fans told you on 755.] Yuiri said as she rubbed Nana’s face. [Alright, I want to bathe now, check your luggage again, I could miss something that you might need for the trip. And…] Yuiri trailed off a for a moment, and Nana glanced back to her after passing Yuiri her pajamas that was left on the bed.
[And…?] Nana with a confused look, trying to figure out what her fiancée is trying to hint to her.
[And no peeking.] Yuiri said as she giggles off to the washroom.
[YUUCHAN!] Nana exclaimed, [I’ve been saying for years now… I’m just trying to show you how to use the shower…] Nana whined as she sees Yuiri leaving the room. After sulking for a moment, she had decided to get herself together and look through her fiancée’s effort in packing her luggage. I think I am just blessed to have met you, and have you in my life, Yuuchan.
